CoDe: a web-based tool for codon deoptimization

Abstract

Abstract Summary We have developed a web-based tool, CoDe (Codon Deoptimization) that deoptimizes genetic sequences based on different codon usage bias, ultimately reducing expression of the corresponding protein. The tool could also deoptimize the sequence for a specific region and/or selected amino acid(s). Moreover, CoDe can highlight sites targeted by restriction enzymes in the wild-type and codon-deoptimized sequences. Importantly, our web-based tool has a user-friendly interface with flexible options to download results. Availability and implementation The web-based tool CoDe is freely available at https://web.iitm.ac.in/bioinfo2/codeop/landing_page.html.
